Nick Sortor, an Internet personality, claimed to have been forcefully stopped by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez‘s team when Nick asked AOC to comment about the death of a woman who was set on fire by one Sebastian Zapeta, believed to be a migrant from Guatemala who came to the US in 2018. The video went viral as AOC was seen startled by Nick Sorter’s confrontation with her and asked him to not touch her. Nick Sortor, while filming the video, repeatedly asked AOC’s staff to not touch him.
“Your district is really suffering under the pressure of the border crisis. Are you talking to the Biden administration about fixing the border crisis?” Nick Sortor asked her after AOC smilingly greeted his camera but then did not reply to the question.
Nick Sortor said AOC earlier blamed Daniel Penny for subways being unsafe but then fled his question on the latest incident.

“AOC blamed DANIEL PENNY for subways being unsafe, and encourages even MORE unvetted migrants to pour across the border. She responded by falsely accusing me of assauIt, and even got the Capitol Police involved, who agreed I never touched her. AOC is one of the WORST members of Congress, and her lack of action is costing the lives of innocent New Yorkers,” Sortor wrote.

Women set on fire in NYC subway; social media users miss Daniel Penny

In one of the most depraved crimes, a woman was set on fire by a man who used a lighter to ignite her clothes which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds killing the woman. Eight hours after the attack, Sebastian Zapeta, a migrant from Guatemala, was arrested at a different Manhattan subway station.
The motive is yet to be ascertained as there was no interaction between the pair before the attack and it does not seem they knew each other.

“Too bad a Daniel Penny wasn’t there to stop it,” Far-Right commentator Laura Loomer wrote in X.
“Daniel Penny would’ve saved this woman’s life from this man who allegedly ended it,” another wrote.
Some social media users observed that no one helped the woman because no one wanted to get prosecuted like Daniel Penny. “The prosecution of Daniel Penny is one of the main reasons nobody helped this woman. The city made it clear, if you try to help people in danger on the subways you will prosecuted and treated as a criminal. Welcome to the dystopian nightmare of modern New York,” one wrote.
Early this month, Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran, was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely. Neely, a homeless man, was threatening passengers when he was subdued by Daniel Penny which also led to his death.
